I do believe that section 6.2.2 of the game manual indicates that your alliance's TRACKBALL is going to be placed randomly in one of three predictable positions on the overpass.

I also do believe that the ROBOCOACH can tell the robot which of the three positions to travel to and knock the TRACKBALL off during the hybrid mode.

I do believe that this method is more accurate than dead reckoning - not saying that dead reckoning wont work - it might score points for the other alliance though
